netdde not detecting cards

[Samuel Thibault]

Hello,

To people who were having problems of network card detection with
netdde, I've found that it was hardcoded that only bus 0 and 2 were
probed for.  The attached patch should probe for all buses, and
probably fix the issue you were having. Check your lspci output, if it
looked like

03:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network
Connection (rev 04)

i.e. first number for the network board is neither 00 nor 02, then
it's normal that netdde was not finding your card. You can apply the
attached patch to the hurd package, install it, and rebuild netdde, or
just wait for the next hurd+netdde upload, or CD image build.

Samuel
